Comments from Clover Coach Chad Smith and Forestview Coach Chris Medlin

Chad Smith on the game “Offensively we competed extremely hard in the second half. We made too many mistakes in the first half. Offensively, we jumped offsides and put ourselves in a first-and-15 instead of a first-and-ten and with our style of scheme we can’t do that. Forestview is an explosive football team and to beat a team like that, you have to play disciplined ball and we didn’t do that tonight.”
Smith on Clover’s growth “We’re growing but I’m not a patient person. Last year, I felt we learned how to compete. This year, we need to learn how to win. Right now, we’re making critical mistakes that don’t allow you to do that. Are we a better football team now? Oh yes! Last week, we scored more in one game than we did the first four weeks of last year. We’re getting there, but we have more talent on this team than what we’re showing. That’s ticking me off as a head coach. We’re going to get our kids there.”
Smith on players that stood out “Noah Lindsey did a phenomenal job tonight. He’s a great football player. He controlled the game extremely well especially in the second half and fought his tail off. I’m extremely proud of him. I was proud of R.J. Moore and Coby Hamblen for stepping in there when we had a couple of injuries on offense. The entire offensive line in the second half did a phenomenal job.”
Chris Medlin on the win “It’s great to be 2-0. Two 20-point wins, I’m happy. We got to get better though. We got to put teams away when we have the opportunity and not let them keep coming back and making us have to score again. We need to separate and stay separated. That’s some things we got to work on. We allowed 20 points. We’d like to allow zero but that isn’t terrible against a team that runs as much as they do and grinds it out.”
Medlin on Crawford and Neal “They played well. I’m proud of both of them. The line did some good things too now.”
In preparation for Kings Mountain “We got to make sure we do our normal routine, prepare and play as hard as we can. We’ll be fine.”
